Give the name and degree of the polynomial 2x-4

We observe that the above polynomial has two terms. Here the first term is 2x and the second term is -4

Now we will determine the exponent of each term.

(i) the exponent of the first term 2x = 1

(ii) the exponent of the second term -4 = 1

Since, the greatest exponent is 1, the degree of 2x – 4 is also 1.

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial 2x – 4 = 1.

Geometric pattern of 2 i’m guessing. not really sure about what you’re asking but i hope this !
